Randolph will be a good player, i'm just impatient and would rather not have a project player when we could trade him for a legit superstar scoring threat. if AR goes to denver in a deal for Melo, i think karl will turn him into a very good player.

He is one of the best shot blockers but one of the worst rebounders for his size/minutes. Blocking isn't really an issue for this team, we get lots of blocks.

We need players that have steady footwork, box out their man and play sound two way basketball. Darko is simply not a position-savy big man, he doesn't box out, he doesn't fight for boards (particularly on the offensive glass) and to top it off he has attitude problems. He's an upgrade to Mozgov or Eddy Curry, but i'd still rather have Turiaf then Darko.

What we need is a player like Marcus Camby, who can do it at both ends. not like guys like that grow on trees, or come cheap, but that is the type of player that would be a better fit for this team.

I was calling for us to trade for AR since he was drafted. That said, we are competing now and there is no need to wait and develop this kid if we can trade him to get Melo. The only reason to trade him is to get better...time to switch gears fellas. No more waiting around hoping guys reach their potential...We are poised to win and need impact contributors ready to ball this year and beyond.

Anthony Randolph could be the next Marcus Camby.As you remember, it took Camby a few seasons in the NBA to be a good all around player.All Randolph needs in order to excell is motivation and the only way that he can be motivated is if he receives more minutes.

You may be right, he has got great physical talent for sure but he you can't argue that he has been a huge disappointment this year for us. Golden opportunity to win a spot here in NY and he didn't capitalize.

Now he's trade fodder, AR does have Walsh on his side and D'Antoni said it will be Donnie's decision as far as a trade.

You know I don't see this Melo trade happening right away, if it does happen maybe at Feb. trade deadline. I don't know how you make an informed decision on trading a guy with the potential of AR unless you play him, win streak or no win streak there has to be 10 mins a game for him to see if you want to keep him.

he got 10 mins a game a few times earlier in the year and he proved that he was absolute doo doo

AR has tremendous talent and potential! There is a great chance that he might not gel with this offense but there is no doubt that the kid is talented. We have 10+ weeks before the trade deadline to see what he can do. Right now STAT is playing tremendous minutes and his body is getting banged up... We will need another player that can fill in effectivly for him; I always thought AR could if he could just right the ship.
